What an absolute pleasure to visit with Ben Aleshire yesterday at , see the space he’s created and view the amazing group photography show “Analog 4 Eva,” and… plan his letterpress workshop at Snowfort(!!!), which will be on Sunday, May 24! I included a couple images of broadsides that Ben has printed on our letterpress back when it was in Saranac Lake. As a group, we will make a poetry broadside and everyone will get one to take home!

Where did AI come from so suddenly?

Bruce Holsinger’s Culpability begins with a self-driving car accident, but it quickly opens into something larger: a literary family novel about privilege, guilt, technology, and the murky nature of responsibility these days.

What makes the novel especially compelling is that it refuses easy moral clarity. You root for the family even while wondering whether they are escaping consequences they should have to face.

I wrote a review of the novel for the Snowfort site—less a plot summary than an attempt to think through why the book lingers after it ends. Read it at snowfortbooks.com
